International Workshop "Asian Gender Dialogues : Education on Gender and Sexuality in Asia - "

This autumn, International Christian University's Center for Gender Studies (CGS@ICU) will hold an international workshop entitled "Asian Gender Dialogues: Education on Gender and Sexuality in Asia." We have invited guests from Asian nations as well as Japan to engage in dialogues on gender and sexuality education, making connections with experiences, opinions, concerns, struggles. The discussions will be based on 3 themes: "Religion and Education," "Grassroots Movements and Education," and "University Education." While harvesting the abundant possibilities of education in Asia, we will attempt to explore the limits and the validity of the category "Asia" itself. We hope that you will join us in the International Conference Room of the newly opened Kiyoshi Togasaki Memorial Dialogue House.
